Crafting coaching launches since 1992.

We’re a family-run British company supplying only the highest quality coaching, umpiring and rescue launches around the world.

Our catamaran launches are used by rowing clubs, schools, regattas, canoe and kayak clubs, individual buyers and more recently in renewable energy development.

These launches are solidly engineered with the most rigorous tried and tested methods. The roto-moulded trilaminate polythylene hulls are unique to Rowing Solutions Ltd. Our earliest models dating back to 1992 are still in active use today because they are built for posterity – that’s why we are the leading choice globally.

Kings Award for Enterprise - International Trade.

His Majesty The King has approved the Prime Minister's recommendation that Rowing Solutions should receive a King’s Award for Enterprise, effective from May 2025. This represents the United Kingdom's highest business accolade and in Rowing Solutions’ case, the award recognises outstanding achievement in the development of International Trade.

Our catamarans have been shipped to 20+ countries across North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

“The boat is already baptised by the counsellor of Roosendaal before our regatta. The boat is very stable and fast.”

Sir Matthew Pinsent, CBE

“We’ve used RS catamarans since the initial year of broadcast for Henley Royal Regatta in 2015 and found them to be a professional and dedicated team. We have long racing days and a long list of requirements and the catamarans have been with us for every race, day in day out.”
